SLIDE 2

History of Convention No. 185

Adopted in 2003 to replace Convention No. 108 with a

modern, uniform identity document including biometrics

Diverged from ICAO Doc 9303 for passports when ICAO

moved to ePassport with chip in 2006

Verification of fingerprints contained in a two dimensional

barcode was difficult at borders and ports as required equipment was typically not available

Ratification was slow, but implementation slower still
In 2015 and 2016, tripartite maritime meetings held in

consultation with ICAO to recommend amendments

Governing Body approved amendments in March, 2016
ILC adopted amendments in June, 2016
Amendments came into force June, 2017

Summary of Amendments

Convention No. 185 references Doc 9303 seventh

edition “as it may subsequently be amended in accordance with the related procedures of ICAO”. Can no longer lose coordination with ICAO

SID can be of TD1, TD2 or TD3 size (passport page,

credit card or visa sticker)

Barcode and fingerprints removed
Biometric is now facial image in contactless chip
Logical Data Structure (LDS) in eSID works exactly like

that of an ePassport and can be read by all ePassport readers

All border points should now support verification of eSID
BUT….. Distribution of keys to verify digital signature in

chip is a new critical element required for success

Progress on C185

98 countries are bound to accept the eSID but only 34 to issue it

C108 No Biometric, Low Security C185 Fingerprints, MRZ, Better Security C185 Amendments Face Recognition MRZ + Chip High Security Ratified 64 35 34 Provisionally Adopted 1 In Force 64 34 33 Must Issue eSID No No Yes Must Accept eSID Yes Yes Yes

Progress on C185 Amendments

A transition period for the amendments to C185 was
ffered, but only one country, Marshall Islands, has
pted against immediate entry into force
This means issuance of eSIDs is an immediate
bligation for 33 countries (plus Myanmar in July, 2018)
ICAO agrees that C185 and ICAO Doc 9303 are now

completely aligned

Any border that supports an ePassport can also support

an eSID

A new checklist is posted on ILO web site with detailed

requirements for all aspects of implementation (http://www.ilo.org/global/standards/maritime-labour- convention/WCMS_617300/lang--en/index.htm)

Some countries have already begun to implement

Challenges for C185 Amendments

Expertise on electronic travel documents is

usually found with passport issuers and not maritime authorities

Use of an eSID following ICAO Doc 9303

requires distribution of keys so that the eSID can be verified at the border

This greatly increases usability but also

increases complexity and cost

Cooperation with passport issuing departments

is the simplest route, but not always possible

How does the eSID issuer tackle this problem?

SLIDE 7

Problem of Key Distribution

ICAO PKD can be available even if your country

doesn’t currently issue an ePassport

ICAO will offer advice in their presentation
With cooperation of another friendly country,

keys can be distributed to the PKD using a master list

Currently less than half of ePassport issuing

countries are actually members of the ICAO PKD

Companies with expertise in ePassport issuance

may have suggestions on how to arrange key distribution

SLIDE 8

Problem of Cost and Complexity

Companies with suitable expertise can help with the

complexity (three companies are outside, all have provided eSIDs whose physical designs have been checked for compliance with C185)

Since fingerprints have been replaced with facial

recognition, enrolment is easier

Sharing resources and facilities between departments

(ePassport and eSID) or between countries (cards can be printed and personalized remotely) can save a lot

Make ILO Checklist part of your procurement (ensures

that SID will be compliant to C185)

Ask ILO for technical help
Dr. Campbell will be available all day Thursday

SLIDE 9

Summary

C185 Amendments define a secure eSID

that is compatible with ePassports

Enrolment of seafarers is easier
Acceptance at border is better
Costs and complexity are higher, but can

be reduced by sharing resources
